Melancholic beauty: Kaliopi returns with touching ballad “Presuda”

Sometimes love can be painful, but Kaliopi is here to prove that even the most cumbersome relationships can still be beautiful, in her new single “Presuda” (Judgement).

Serving all kinds of emotions and feelings, the two-time Eurovision representative of FYR Macedonia is back after nearly a year of absence. The song was released a few days ago on Kaliopi’s official YouTube channel and was composed, written, arranged and produced by her ex-husband Romeo Grill, who was also responsible for her two Eurovision entries.

The song is a delicate yet powerful one. Starting off with the gentle chimes of a piano, Kaliopi gracefully takes us through the hardships of love with her iconic voice. The song might appear to start off as just a normal ballad, but as it progresses, more and more elements are added in to contribute to the story of a turbulent relationship.

In many ways it is somewhat reminiscent of “Crno i Belo” wherein the iconic electric guitar is thrown into the mix to stir up emotion and drama. Ultimately, however, the message to take from Kaliopi’s heart-felt ballad is that, beauty and marvel can exist in even the most difficult of situations.

“I relished every note, every letter and every word in this song. “Presuda” is a melancholic love song. However, I discovered that sometimes even sad love affairs can be beautiful. I vehemently believe that the song will appeal to the public and will maybe be somewhat able to find themselves within it. I want to thank Romeo Grill, who, once again, masterfully and skilfully managed to touch my heart, soul and that which makes me immortal.”

The song’s music video features Kaliopi strolling though a park, amid the autumn leaves. She also has a new hair style. While her trademark fringe remains, her hair has been chopped into a shorter bob. It brings a sophisticated new look for the Macedonian star.

Kaliopi will perform “Presuda” live for the first time at her upcoming concert in Belgrade, set to take place on November 23rd. Make sure to have a listen to the song and a read through a rough translation of the lyrics below
